Key takeaways

The Trust's work is Christian primary and junior high education, school meals and teacher training in rural villages in Ghana, with Upper West Region as its stated priority, so a Ghana-focused project with that kind of education or feeding work is the closest fit.
Neither the annual report nor the register gives a usable grant range or annual giving figure, so a grant writer cannot judge a realistic size of request from them and should ask the Trust directly.
No application process is published, so the route in is the contact the Trust shows for getting in touch, and nothing published covers timing, how competitive funding is, or whether it prefers existing relationships.
Nothing published states any exclusions, so no group is ruled out on that information.
